What to Send

Every missionary likes getting packages from family and friends. Instead of sending heavy presents that your missionary will have to lug around, impractical clothing, or inappropriate music, try a few of the following suggestions:

A Book of Mormon with your testimony in it to give to an investigator.

A cassette tape of Mormon Tabernacle Choir music.

A conservative tie that matches his suit, or a scarf for a sister missionary.

Nice-smelling soap.

Lip balm.

A few pictures of loved ones.

Copies of Church magazines that might not be received in the mission field.

Copies of favorite General Authority talks.

Appropriate stickers that can be used on other letters or on treats for investigators.

Homemade treats, if the missionary is close enough to receive them within a week.
